Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on Saturday accused BJP leader Narendra Modi of lowering the quality of election campaign.
“The kind of negative campaigning and personal attacks carried out by him are unprecedented. None of the senior leaders from any party in the past stooped to such low level,” Mr. Chavan told a press conference here.
Such behaviour “is least expected from a person who is hoping to become the next Prime Minister.”
On the prospects of the Congress-NCP alliance in the Lok Sabha elections, Mr. Chavan said it would increase its tally.
Earlier, at a State Congress meeting of office-bearers from all districts and candidates, the party asked its members to start preparations for the October Assembly elections.
